These short presentations consist of presenting visual information in pairs (10%), and an elevator pitch given individually (10%).

Final exam/presentation:

Students give a final presentation individually at the end of the course and deal with Q&A (Questions and Answers). Students need to send their presentation slides to the teacher for assessment, at least one week before the day of their final exam.

Avaluació única:
Summative / Exam only assessment:
The evaluation system endorsed by the Universitat de Girona is continuous assessment. Single assessment will only be allowed in some specific cases and always within the deadline specified in the school calendar.

Single assessment is not recommended for this practical course. However, if a student chooses single assessment (evaluació única), they must inform the teacher and sign a document by a given date to be specified later on. In this case, they will be evaluated in the final presentation (80%) but will also need to present an elevator pitch in class in April-May (20%). The elevator pitch will be given on a day that is mutually convenient for both the teacher and the student.
Evaluation criteria of the final presentation:
- planning and purpose
- structure & content
- audience rapport
- design and use of visuals
- delivery (body language, pronunciation and voice)
- overall impact of the presentation on the audience.

Requisits mínims per aprovar:
Per considerar superada l’assignatura, caldrà obtenir una qualificació mínima de 5.0.
A minimum grade of 5 out of 10 is required to pass the course. Students that do not pass will be given the opportunity to retake. However, in the resit students will not be able to receive a grade higher than 6 out of 10.

Tutoria

Students can ask for a tutorial of 15 minutes by reserving a day and time in advance via Euroaula's booking system.

Observacions

Additional information:
It is important that both formative and summative assessment students discuss the topic of their final presentation with the teacher a few weeks before the exam.

If a student chooses summative assessment (evaluación única), they inform the teacher and sign a document by 12th February 2021. In this case, they will be evaluated in the final presentation (80%) but will also need to present an elevator pitch in class (20%) - see summative / exam only assessment.

The teacher may delete any item on the course programme if appropriate, or if there are any unexpected changes in the course.

Students are encouraged to research and observe effective presentations and speakers outside class, and to give examples in class. It is also recommended they practise speaking in public and presentation skills, whenever possible, in other classes.
